Re: Weekend recap
1. We bought a lawn mower. I feel like we're official home owners now. I also ripped out a bunch of dead things from a garden area I'm going to plant flowers in. Very difficult but satisfying work.
2. I had tea on our patio yesterday -- gorgeous day -- and a quail landed in the back yard.
3. The tofu kebobs I took to a barbecue.
1) Did you do anything fun. What? I spent Saturday with Emmalee and my BFF. We went to Chick fil a, then to a park, and then shopping at Target. We got to talk for the first time in like 6 months.
2) What made you smile this weekend? Yesterday DH and I were cleaning and I said, "Oh Crap!" kinda loudly. E of course heard me so the rest of the day she was saying, "oh Crap!" I couldn't help but laugh.
3) What's the best thing you ate all weekend? Chick fil a bisquit and a Sweet tea.

2) What made you smile this weekend?
Feeling little baby thumps and kicks inside my belly
3) What's the best thing you ate all weekend?
Chicken burrito supreme with green sauce from El Rosal in Modesto. I have been craving it forever, and haven't had one in a long time. I have not found anything that compares to Modesto Mexican food in Sacramento. I miss it so much...
1) Did you do anything fun. What? Had a sangria and appetizers night with friends who will be moving away at the end of this month. We are trying to hang out as much as possible before they're gone...
2) What made you smile this weekend? Seeing my dog come home after a day at work with DH. Not only did I miss her and was glad to see her, but it was obvious she had so much fun with him. Sometimes I really do think dogs can smile.
3) What's the best thing you ate all weekend? Surprisingly, something really simple: A scramble I made for dinner Saturday with tiny gold potatoes, kale and red pepper. Also, the cinnamon cream cheese frosting I made yesterday.1) Did you do anything fun. What? I cleaned and organized the garage and got all our camping stuff organized!
2) What made you smile this weekend? my two cats "helping" me while I cleaned the garage. They actually tolerated each other for once!
3) What's the best thing you ate all weekend? My homemade vanilla bean and strawberries ice cream. I am never buying ice cream again after what I made!1) Did you do anything fun. What? We had our childbirth classes this weekend, which were interesting. It was funny seeing DH squirm when they showed a video of an epidural because DH hates needles with a passion.

1) Did you do anything fun. What? T and I hid out again this weekend and finished a lot of things in the house. We hung some trim around the breakfast bar, finally hung some things on our bedroom walls and planned our anniversary trip. We have been really enjoying each other's company the last few weeks. I truly would have been lost without him this year.

2. Just being around the baby made me smile. Just having her here makes me so happy.
3. We went to Red Lobster for dinner, so having part of their Lobsterfest was awesome. I even had a sip of J's strawberry margarita!
Haha, I never would have noticed, too busy reading the responses. Preston Castle, eh? That sounds pretty awesome.
